This is something I have been stuck on for a while.
I want to use Wayland for that variable refresh rate and some better handeling of screen recordings.
I have tried time and time again to get a wayland session running with the proprietary nvidia driver, but have not gotten there yet.
Only the X11 options are listed on the login screen. When using the fallback FOSS nvidia driver however, all the correct X11 and Wayland options show up (Including Gnome and KDE, both in X11 and Wayland).
Wasn't this fixed, like, about a year ago? I have the "latest" proprietary nvidia driver, but the current debain one is still pretty old (535.183.06).

Just tried it, and sadly that didn't change anything after a reboot.
